Baldeneysee

The fact that the Baldeneysee has been created artificially, you can hardly see it today. Not only water sports fans, he attracts, but just the continuously developed foot and bike path around the lake is very attractive.

Pleasantly flat and great to circle around by bike.

Especially in the morning in the rising sun very nice and quiet.

Haus Scheppen - meeting point for cyclists and bikers

Nice lake and great bike path

By bike along the lake, you can only on the south bank. On the north shore only the footpath goes along the shore, brave cyclists take course the bike path.

Getting to the Baldeneysee by bike is actually always possible. !!
We always take a biker break at Haus Scheppen, there is always something to see, and there is a variety of food and drinks at reasonable prices.

Nice lake and great bike path

It is worthwhile in any case to visit the Baldeneysee by bike. Flat and the bike path is well developed. At the house Scheppen you can take a break. But overcrowded on weekends and just too crowded. Unfortunately it does not make fun anymore.

Beautiful lake, by bike or on foot you are always close to the water.

Always nice to drive by the lake 👍

Was nice

Beautiful lake to cycle, in autumn with the colorful leaves really graceful

A nice local recreation area in Essen

Fantastic to cycle here early in the morning

Wonderful easy bike tour, always right along the water. Best surface, no gradients. Partly through shady deciduous forests, therefore pleasant to drive on even in the heat. Wonderful flora and fauna on and next to the lake.

Today, the Baldeneysee is used, among other things, for water sports and as a local recreation area. On its bank in Heisingen is the Heisinger Bogen bird sanctuary, a breeding ground for grebes, cormorants, herons and other threatened birds.
The Hespertalbahn runs on the south-east bank with seasonal museum trains.
The continuously developed footpaths and bike paths around the lake are around 14 kilometers long. The marathon around the Baldeneysee takes place here.
Every year sailing regattas are held on the lake, some of which are of national importance. There is also a regatta course for rowing and canoeing and underwater anchorages for playing fields for canoe polo. Competitions up to European championships are held here.

A nice bike path around the lake with many opportunities to stop and rest.

It is one of the recreational areas par excellence in the Ruhr area.
